Goals / Remit
Some of our proposals are the following:
***Stronger knowledge-based Europe***
Education and research resources must be raised considerably to support job creation, innovation and high-level life-long learning. High quality of and equal access to education are of capital importance. The share of Educational and Research Programmes should be at least one fifth of the EU budget (for the moment around one tenth).
***Strengthen economy and employment****
High-tech industries and services, digital internal market, promotion of entrepreneurship and start-ups, in particular among P&MS, are key measures in view of developing the EUs Internal Market and job opportunities.
Eurocadres gives full backing to Europe 2020 Strategy, while it enhances many knowledge-intensive sectors. However, this Strategy and the European Semester, the process of EUs Economic Policy, are now overlapping. Streamlining and simplification of these processes is necessary.
More and better jobs also for P&MS may be created through open trade which is based on rules and sustainability. Eurocadres finds it useful to facilitate the free movement of professionals, providing that working conditions and high-level of qualifications are respected. It is necessary that all relevant organisations are consulted in the course of trade negotiations, for instance, between EU and USA.
Closing down tax heavens and putting an end to distorted tax competition will contribute to sound budgets and diminishing tax pressure on P&MS, who often pay high income taxes.
Unemployment among the P&MS has been rising due to the recent economic crisis. This concerns, in particular, young graduated people. Europe has to rethink its policy to find a better solution to fight the crisis. The extreme austerity measures have been proven inefficient, but modernisation of the economy and of the welfare state is inevitable.
Eurocadres supports active measures in view of combatting youth unemployment, but also young graduated people must have access to guarantee systems.
Protection of whistleblowers is necessary to reveal fraud and corruption and to protect the general interest. It should become an integrated part of CSR in multinational companies, global framework agreements and collective agreements. Even the EU-system itself needs protection of whistleblowers. Eurocadres expects the new European Parliament and Commission to support action to develop a framework for an adequate protection of whistleblowers in Europe.
****Promote high level of working life quality***
A revision of the Working Time Directive has to guarantee full protection for every employee and, in particular, for P&MS (article 17 in the Directive). Excessive work-loads do not raise productivity or employees’ capacity to be innovative and creative.
Eurocadres is worried about the Commission proposal on protection of undisclosed know-how and business information (trade secrets) against their unlawful acquisition, use and disclosure. Vague definitions of trade secrets, high possible damages and long periods of liability after leaving an employment may create an impediment for both professional and geographical movement of workers.
Especially in the context of the common digital market, European legislation should not harm the rights of P&MS to intellectual property rights. P&MS must keep the right to decide their own intellectual work and always receive the full financial compensation in each case.
Gender balance needs to be promoted in many areas of professional life, for instance in the boards of companies.Main EU files targeted
